Toolbar Editor: compatibility

By ‘compatible’ we mean that the software will work substantially as documented on the vast majority of hardware running the specified operating system. To be certain about compatibility, download the demo version and test it for yourself. The DLL specifications relate to the operation of the Runtime DLL which is distributed with your application.

Language Compatibility

C 100%
C++ 100% as C
Fortran Link using C calling conventions
Pascal Link using C calling conventions
Visual BASIC Link using C calling conventions

Windows Compliance

Microsoft has very specific requirements before software may be described as “Windows compliant”, including support for OLE and keyboard only operation. The WindSword Toolbar Editor does not support these capabilities and so the Editor is not “officially” Windows compliant. However this has no implications for the compliance of software using the DLL.
